The Naming

Pt 2 of the Woman in White

The woman in white looked up at her Savior, her Knight, with eyes that shined with tears. To think that this One loved her, even when she had been unlovable and filthy! He deserved her complete allegiance and undying love in return, this One so pure and holy!

The Knight smiled down at her. "Up until this day, you have had no name. You have been called many things, but none have reflected who you are. This day I name you, Precious."

Her heart thundered in her chest. "Precious?"

"Yes, because you are Precious to me."In a moment of pure joy, Precious threw her arms around His neck.

The Knight laughed and returned her embrace. With smooth motions, he spun her around. Though gentle, there was enough momentum that her feet lifted off the ground. Her laughter echoed his.

What joy this was! Safe in the arms of her Knight.

He set her down, then began to pull back.

He's leaving me!!! she thought in panic. But He was still smiling.

"Follow after Me," He said.

She ran after Him. Sometimes He caught her in His arms and spun her around. Sometimes He let her catch Him. No matter the case, the chase was on.
